The upcoming week will witness the final location survey of the Bilaspur-Manali-Leh line at Leh in Jammu and Kashmir by the Railway authority.  The long 498 km rail is at the height of 3,300 meters and is said to make the record of the highest rail track in the world, breaking China's Qinghai-Tibet Railway record. This particular rail network is one of the important four railway networks, which are identified by the defense minister along the China border. The work on the final location survey is inaugurated by the railway minister Suresh Prabhu at the estimated cost of Rs 157.77 crore.  The amount is funded by the defense ministry.

This rail line will connect the important stations between Bilaspur and Leh which are Sunder Nagar Mandi, Manali, Tandi, Keylong, Koksar, Darcha, Upshi and Karu. Railway PSU (Public Sector Undertaking) and RITES (Rail India Technical and Economic Service) has entrusted the final location survey. A senior Railway Ministry official said, "RITES has deployed its expert team to carry out this challenging task. The survey will be carried out in three phases and is slated to be completed by 2019." For now, the road route is open only for five months a year. Keeping aside the strategic considerations, it is to be expected that Bilaspur-Manali-Leh rail line will also give socio-economical advantages for the region and the tourism.

The defense ministry has initiated fourteen strategic rail lines in China, Nepal and Pakistan borders. Amongst them the four rail lines which will be taken up at the first phase are - Bilaspur-Manali-Leh, Missamari-Tenga-Tawang, North Lakhimpur-Bame-Silapathar and Pasighat-Tezu-Rupai.

Only the Bilaspur-Leh rail line is along the Himachal-J&K borders, while the rest three are along the Assam-Arunachal border. Travelling to Leh via railway will be easy, as once the work of the Bilaspur-Manali-Leh railway line is completed, Leh will be directly connected to Himachal Pradesh and the rest of India by railway.
